FAQs
Is The Mentor Training accredited?
The Mentor Training is now officially accredited by the International Institute of Complementary Therapists (IICT) that governs standards in alternative and holistic education modalities as a Premier Training Provider which provides professional recognition for your TMT certification.
What is the difference between a mentor and a coach?
We will dive into this in detail at the beginning of TMT and you can learn more here but the simplified answer is that a mentor shares skills and experiences to help their client/mentee evolve and grow while a coach is focused on meeting their client’s goals.
How can I use these skills to self-mentor?
The potent magic of mentoring is that your clients will often mirror something you yourself have experienced in the past or trigger things in you that have arisen to be looked at. The skills you learn to mentor others are the exact same skills you use to mentor yourself applied directly to yourself. It’s a skill that will support you and guide you for the rest of your life.
What if English isn’t my first language?
The Training has been designed to be accessible to all, even those with a more limited grasp on the English language with lessons taught in video, audio and text formats. We have had mostly non-native English speakers in our training so far, whom have all understood and enjoyed the content.
How do the facilitators hold space for BIPOC people and how diverse is the training?
It is our aim within TMT to ensure a space where BIPOC students feel seen, heard, validated and held within the community, the live spaces and the mentoring and listening partnerships. It is really important to us that we listen carefully to your perspectives as wellness providers. We have had women from many backgrounds and cultures within our training so far and this year again it looks like a really beautiful blend of cultures and backgrounds is coming together which creates a richer learning and growing experience for all of us. I am also really open to feedback so please feel free to make suggestions about how I can create an even more inclusive, safe and nurturing space.
Will you be running The Mentor Training again next year?
We hope so.
What is the time commitment for TMT?
It depends on which training you choose. The Leadership option is the most time-intensive with a minimum of 9 x 60-minute live calls, 20 video lessons, weekly listening partnership calls, 20 x 60-minute practice sessions, and 2 x 1:1 mentoring calls with us. Totalling in approx. 8-10 hours per month.
What are the practice hours?
You will begin practising your skills by mentoring your fellow TMT peers and completing 20 official practice sessions with assessment and review forms that you will complete following each mentoring session.
Is The Mentor Training for all kinds of people?
The Mentor Training welcomes people of all affirmed genders. Whether you identify as a woman, man or something else we aim to create the world's most accessible and leading-edge training for people to help people by changing the way we think about leadership and community while enhancing world peace through self-knowledge, compassion and tools for growth and change
Are there any scholarships or extended payment plans?
Not at the moment.
Will there be guidance for the business and marketing components of being a certified Mentor?
The Mentor Training is specifically a mentoring certification program and doesn’t include business and marketing modules. However, in the integration months in the end, we welcome you to bring any business and marketing questions to the table that we are more than happy to answer and teach.
We hope to create an add-on course specifically around business and marketing for The Mentor Training in the near future.
For the practice session case studies would we need to focus on our current modality or are we able to expand?
We recommend getting experience with a broad range of practice clients, so yes, I would welcome you to invite people from all walks and circumstances to join you in your sessions.
